Scalar
Multiplication
- Vectors can be multiplied by a scalar (a number). [This expired link is available through the Wayback Machine Internet Archive. If the page doesn't load quickly click on Impatient? at the bottom right of the page.]

Scalar multiplication
- the multiplication of a vector by a constant s, producing
a vector in the same (for s > 0) or opposite (for s < 0) direction but of
different length.

Resultant of Forces
- This applet deals with forces exerted on a body. You can vary the number of
single forces by using the choice box at the ride side. It is possible to change
the sizes and directions of these forces by dragging the arrowheads to the intended
positions with pressed mouse button.

Standard
3 - Patterns, Functions, and Algebraic Thinking
The student will describe, extend, analyze, and create a wide variety of patterns
and functions using appropriate materials and representations in real world problem
solving.

Learn
to Solve Word Problems
- (a collection of
word problem solvers
that
solve your problems and help you understand the solutions) All problems are
customizable
(meaning that you can change all parameters).

The
Fibonacci Sequence
- How many pairs of rabbits will be produced in a year,
beginning with a single pair, if in every month each pair bears a new pair which
becomes productive from the second month on?

Standard
4 - Statistics and Probability
The student will
collect, organize, represent, and interpret data; make inferences and predictions;
present and evaluate inferences and predictions; present and evaluate arguments
based on data analysis; and model situations to determine theoretical and experimental
probabilities.

Finding
Data on the Internet
- You'll soon be checking facts and downloading reputable
data on everything from public safety to education to agriculture to crime to
economics ... you name it. This site is intended as a resource for journalists,
but why not make this a source for projects. Your students can find raw data related
to: aviation, demographics, weather, energy, health, immigration and more.

Hand Squeeze
- (a data collection and analysis class experiment) - Pass a
"hand squeeze" around a circle and measure the amount of time that it
takes for the hand squeeze to complete the circle.

What
are Your Chances
- What many people refer to as 'good luck' can actually be
explained by a little knowledge about probability and statistics. Our dice game
allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls effects
an outcome.

Square
Skate
- Divide this figure into four identical parts (of the same shape and
size) which may form the square as shown in the figure.

Other
geometric dissections on the web
- A geometric dissection is a cutting of
one or more figures into pieces that can be rearranged to form other figures.
Dissections are often cast as puzzles, in which the object is to use as few pieces
as possible. These geometrical puzzles fall under the category of mathematical
recreations.

apply the given formula to determine the area or perimeter
of a rectangle

Rotating
Houses
- Students are presented with a 3-D figure created with blocks that
can be rotated and flipped using a mouse. The figure must be rotated until it
matches a 2-D representation of one of the views.

Level 2

apply the given formula to find the area of a circle, the
circumference of a circle, or the volume of a rectangular solid

explain
how to determine if a triangle is a right triangle given the measurements of all
three sides

Solving
a right triangle
- This example illustrates how finding the height of the
pyramid is equivalent to solving the right triangle. The virtual reality media
can help students visualize the interrelation between the 3-dimensional pyramid
and the 2-dimensional right triangle.

use it to solve all kinds of problems. Try the Pythagorean theorem with two other
examples given on this page

Out
of the Shadows: The Problem of Slopes
- Knowing the sun's elevation is not
enough to determine the height of an object from the length of its shadow; the
slope of the surface on which the shadow is being cast must also be known.
